I need the identification of This Drongo, Some indian forum's members identify it as 'Ashy Drongo' which doesn't has any record or winter distribution in Sindh, Pakistan

AKA Common Drongo AKA African Drongo AKA Savanna Drongo. A bird has many names! :D They are very common in a variety of different habitats including cities, and occur in much of Sub-saharan Africa.

Another species that we don't get in the south-west. It seems to be common within its range.

I came across this very confiding Drongo Cuckoo in a park that I frequent; I had seen this specie here before, and have seen it since at the same location, but this was the only time it did not seem bothered by my presence. Lovely bird!

They feed mainly on insects such as grasshoppers, cicadas, termites, wasps, bees, ants, moths, beetles and dragonflies. They sometimes fly close to tree branches, attempting to disturb any insects that may be present.
